In today’s F1, the pit stop stationary time is published on the DHL official website, and the pit lane passing time is also recorded and published on the F1 official website.
DHL official pit stop stationary time
Therefore, on this site, we will calculate
(Pit lane passing time) – (Stationary time)
and try to quantify the performance of the drivers’ stops and starts in the pit boxes. I define this time as “box performance” on this site.
The box performance of the Abu Dhabi GP was as follows. Also, since there were a lot of pit stops this time, we omitted the lower ranks.
Table 1 Box performance
Hamilton recorded the top time in the final race, a consistent outcome considering his stable upper-tier performances in this area since last year, alongside drivers like Perez and Tsunoda. Recently, Russell has also been delivering good performances, suggesting he could be learning something from Hamilton.
